incremental-search
Search for a string as you type it. | Ctrl-s |
Ctrl-q quotes the next character. Backspace cancels the last
character. Ctrl-s repeats a forward search, and Ctrl-r repeats a
backward search, or they change its direction. Ctrl-r or Ctrl-s with
an empty search string brings back the search string from the previous
search. Ctrl-o enables or disables incremental mode. Incremental mode
searches as you type; non-incremental mode lets you edit the search
string.
Ctrl-w enables or disables word searching, restricting matches to
complete words. Ctrl-t enables or disables regular expression
searching, in which the search string specifies a pattern (see
regex-search for rules). Ctrl-c enables or disables case-folding.
<Enter> or <Esc> exits the search, leaving point alone.
If Epsilon cannot find all the input string, it doesn't discard the
portion it cannot find. You can delete it, discard it all with Ctrl-g,
use Ctrl-r or Ctrl-s to search the other way, change modes, or exit
from the search.
Press Alt-<Up> or Ctrl-Alt-p to select from a list of previous search
strings. Press Alt-g to retrieve the last search string for the
current buffer.
During incremental searching, if you type Control or Alt keys not
mentioned above, Epsilon exits the search and executes the command
bound to the key. During a non-incremental search, most Control and
Alt keys edit the search string itself.
Quitting (with Ctrl-g) a successful search aborts the search and moves
point back; quitting a failing search just discards the portion of the
search string that Epsilon could not find.
